Hitler Baby Photo Hoax: Manipulated Image

In 1933, a widely circulated photograph falsely claimed to depict German Chancellor Adolf Hitler as a baby, portraying him with a scowl and aiming to ridicule him. German officials responded by providing a genuine baby photo of Hitler, which appeared normal. The origin of the hoax was falsely attributed to Austria, but the true source remained unknown. The baby in the photo was later revealed to be an American, and the image had been manipulated to make him appear angrier.
